idaliacuevas U Jan 15 Hilarious!!! it was worth me staying up past my bedtime to go see it! This comedy movie needs to be shown in the theaters for a while like others. Other people need to have an opportunity to get these laughs in. See more Sean Jan 15 Phenomenal. I have been a fan for years and my family and I enjoyed it.

See more Ronel Thelusma Jan 15 That guy is hilarious everything was right , the timing , the jokes and all genuine stuff . Mad respect for him next Dave Chapelle 👍🏾🤣🤣🤣 See more Rich B @arichblackman Jan 15 Rebel With a Cause isn’t just a stand-up special, it’s a reminder of what fearless comedy looks like. Watching this at a sold-out AMC in Atlanta said a lot before Godfrey even hit the stage. His audience is locked in, and for good reason. From the jump, he’s sharp, confident, and completely unapologetic. Godfrey touches everything: church culture, politics, Trump, race, identity, and yes, white folks borrowing (stealing) culture. What makes it work isn’t shock value, but truth. His observations are precise, smart, and grounded in lived experience. You’re laughing hard, then realizing you’re laughing because he said what most people are thinking but won’t say out loud. By the end, it’s hard not to feel that Godfrey belongs in the same conversation as the greats. Rebel With a Cause feels like a statement. Proof that real comedy doesn’t ask for permission, it tells the truth and lets the laughs follow. See more Read all reviews
